Unusual interpretations of Schubert in which the "nebulous" sound of an historic fortepiano, imbuing the music with pensive melancholy, is heard in the bright company of modern instruments. The trio of musicians is challenging, too: Jörg Ewald Dähler is a renowned Schubert scholar and fortepiano specialist, New Series regular Thomas Demenga is famed for his centuries-spanning performances combining Bach cello suites with modern composition, and Hansheinz Schneeberger is a near-legendary figure in contemporary music, who first gained notice with the premiere performance of Bartók's Ist Violin Concerto.
